  • Best way to set up user to hide pages in a fillable form once complete.

    I have created an 11 page fillable PDF form from a word document that will be used for Mentors. The last page (11) is a summary page with fields automatically populated from various preceeding pages. Once the form has been filled out, I'd like the user to select a checkbox (or something) so that they can allow the reviewer (in my case the Employer) to only see the Summary page as pages 1-10 will contain confidential information for the users use only. What is the best way to do this? Once filled out, the Mentors will upload('update') the document with a sharepoint (joomla) Document management system where Employers have a separate login group and user access levels.
    Any help woudl be greatly appreciated. I understand that forms created from word have limited functionality so I can't 'hide' certain pages on a checkbox entry - but if there is a way around this (ie setting Chapters?) I would appreciate the help!

    If the data must remain truly confidential, meaning that the end user should not have any way of getting at it when they are provided the file, then you really should be extracting the summary page once it's populated or creating it separately. Even if you made the pages templates so that you can hide them (with Acrobat) and then applied security restrictions, the confidential information would still remain in the file and could be seen relatively easily by a knowledgeable and/or determined person.

  • What is the best way to set up iTunes to deal with a massive media library?

    I have a really big media library...probably 7k-10k digital photos, close to 1,000 ripped CDs, and over 600 ripped DVDs, all stored on 1.5TB external hard disks in a 4-drive enclosure.
    Due to a recent technical glitch, I find myself installing a new drive and moving the current library. My question is, what is the best way to set up iTunes' settings to deal with a media library that is both external to the Mac on which it runs, and spans multiple physical hard disk units?
    I generally like the idea of iTunes organizing my library for me (i.e. keeping everything in Media Type>Artist>Album folders via the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder), but I'm not sure how that's going to work spanning multiple drives.
    I just figure since I'm basically starting over with my iTunes installation, maybe there's a better way to do it.
    Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

    You can set them up as a software RAID using Disk Utility.
    It'll simply be one large disk for all intents and purposes.

  • What's the best way to set up new imac for logic etc?

    In brief:
    Getting new imac (27", 3.4 i7, 8-16GB ram, 1TB HD). Will be using it mainly to run Logic Studio (loads of plugins) and Final Cut Express. I also have 2 external Hard drives one 500G one 1TB.
    The last imac I bought was my first and just went ahead and threw everything at it not really knowing where things should go. This time I want to set things up correctly.
    Basically, with what I've got, what is the best way to set things up. I.e where do I put logic files, samples, BFD2, Amplitube etc. Where do I put videos for use in FCE. Storing projects and backups for use with Time Machine.
    Also noticed the new imac will only have 1 firewire port. I will need to plug in the Hard drives (daisy chained), camera and RME Fireface 800. Was thinking of getting a Thunderbolt Hard drive but they are expensive and hard to find.
    Would really appreciate any help before I get the new machine and start messing things up again.
    Thanks.

    Adding to babowa, enable the system firewall in System Preferences>Security>Firewall tab. Click Advanced and check Stealth Mode.
    Lion is a pretty steady and secure operating system, and as there really aren't MANY Mac viruses, there ARE viruses out there still. OS X is pretty good about letting you know if you do accidently download a virus, and it will help you throw it away if it detects one, such as the MACDefender virus. OS X has built in security features such as sandboxing that doesn't allow viruses in as easily as a Windows PC. As for hackers, as long as you have the firewall enabled and a secure password (for your computer and email accounts), then you should be fine.
    It's the user that lets the virus in, not the computer (unless there's some untold serious vulnerability in OS X, which is highly unlikely). Keep your apps up to date, don't download pirated software, and be street smart on the internet. Don't download things or visit websites that you don't think are real. Safari includes a Phishing feature that automatically detects known phishing sites, protecting you from that big problem. Keep your passwords secure and you should be fine.
    There are antivirus solutions out there, one notable one available in the AppStore is Intego's VirusBarrier (free and plus versions), if you feel you still need one.
    I wouldn't worry about it. Windows users who switch to Mac are always asking these questions.
    Here's some good reading as well

  • Best way to set up iPad mini for child?

    So I bought my 3yr old an iPad Mini since he already knows how to fully operate most things on my iPhone! Now when I go to set it up, I don't want my music and apps and other content popping up on his iPad. Now can I create an Apple ID for him but set it up to where I can still have control over it? The guy in the store suggested I set it up using iCloud Family Sharing. When I got home and looked more into the family sharing option, I am not sure that is what I want either. That sounds like everybody in your family would have access to everything on the main device correct or am I wrong?
    So this is what I want. I want to be the one who can purchase apps or download free apps by typing in his Apple ID info (if possible). I want him to have his own favorite songs via iTunes. The only thing I would want to share is probably a Family photo album in iCloud.
    So what is the best way of setting this device up?
    Before he mentioned the iCloud Family Sharing option, the guy in the store suggested I leave the iCloud info blank when it asked for it but set up the iPad Mini as if it was my device. I think that just confused me even more.
    If I chose the Family Sharing option, can I select exactly what gets shared or no? If yes? Can apps be shared?
    Lastly if I set him up with his own Apple ID, and he wants a new song or some music or download a movie etc. will he need his own iTunes Library?
    Thanks for your help!

    I think that, if you read through these forums and familiarize yourself with the number of problems allowing children the ability to exercise and maintain control of an iDevice, and to purchase and download content, you'll change your mind.

  • Best way to set up partitions on 250GB external drive

    Hi all,
    I've decided to go with an Iomega eGo 250-GB FireWire portable drive to back up my iBook's hard disk (30 GB) plus to store my photos and maybe hold a bootable copy of OS9.
    This is my first time using an external drive, so I don't really know how to go about setting things up.
    What would be the best way to set up the partitions on the external drive?
    1) I know I should create a 30GB partition for the iBook backup, but what about for the remaining volume? Is it best to leave it as a single large 200GB partition, or split it into two 100GB chunks? Other than the clone of my iBook, I'll mainly be storing photos (at the moment no more than around 10-12GB).
    2) I don't yet have a huge iTunes collection, but if I later want to store iTunes music that doesn't fit on my internal drive, is it fine to put it in the same partition as the photos, or would it be preferable to create a separate partition?
    3) If I want to install OS9 on the drive, how much space should I allot to it? Would this enable me to run legacy apps on my iBook?
    4) Does it matter how I name the partitions (i.e. should the name for my iBook back-up be the same as the original volume or should it be different?)
    5) As I still don't know exactly what I need, If today I decide to create only 30GB partition to backup the iBook, can I later partition the remaining space without having to start all over again?
    6) Also, the drive came out of the box with Mac OS Extended format. Is this the best format or is there another that would be better?
    Thanks for any advice

    The answer to both question is that it's completely up to you. Partitioning or not partitioning won't affect operation significantly.
    3) If I want to install OS9 on the drive, how much space should I allot to it? Would this enable me to run legacy apps on my iBook?
    The iBook G4 can not boot from OS 9 so you would only be able to run OS 9 in the "classic" environment.
    4) Does it matter how I name the partitions (i.e. should the name for my iBook back-up be the same as the original volume or should it be different?)
    No
    5) As I still don't know exactly what I need, If today I decide to create only 30GB partition to backup the iBook, can I later partition the remaining space without having to start all over again?
    There are a few tools which promise the ability to change the partitioning without destroying the data on the drive. But you should never do this without making a backup of the data on the drive. Data loss can easily happen and in a big way.
    6) Also, the drive came out of the box with Mac OS Extended format. Is this the best format or is there another that would be better?
    That is the best format.

  • Best way to set up a second monitor with a Touchsmart

    What's the best way to set up a second monitor for the Touchsmart IQ506?  Is a USB to VGA cable the only way and how well does that work (I've read that they can be buggy)?  
    Are they any recommendations for products and setting it up?

    Leopard wont be out befor the second half of this year, sofar i cannot tell you what options you are going to have with the new system. Seems like with time machine is going to be a perfect backup for your whole system.
    10.4.x:
    Software RAID you can do 0 -1:
    To setup a RAID of your system you have to format the drive and setup the RAID type you want from the disk utility.
    To have some security i suggest the "mirror" options but you are going to lose some perfomance, depending you want is your main job it mighn't be noticed.
    RAID 5:
    This would be the nicest option but you need to buy an additional RAID controller. This is mostly used on servers and not on client computers.

  • Best way to set up a second/family iPad?

    I am using a new Air2 as my main iPad and now want to setup my iPad2 as a general usage iPad that anyone in my house can use for things like surfing the web and viewing a baby monitor, etc.
    I'm trying to figure out the best way to set it up, I'm not sure if I need to synch over my safari tabs, pages, numbers, etc. Can anyone give me any advice with regards to doing something like this?
    If I want to keep everything separate from my current iCloud account, do I just register a new iCloud account or should I use my current account and only synch over certain things? Any pros/cons of doing this either way?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Best way to set up home network using Time Capsule

    Hi
    My current home network consists of Macbook Pro 17 connected wirelessly, another Mac and few pcs. I have a Time Capsule, new netgear router and several hard drives. At the moment my main drive is plugged in via usb to the mac, however id like to set up a proper mini network where i can at least share several drives between macs, HOWEVER i also want to back up this data via TC, which is why at the moment my hard drive is plugged into the mac, so it can be backed up. Am i correct is saying that TC will not backup netwrok drives?
    ..any suggestions for best way to set up a network with TC backing up drives?
    Thanks

    You could share the locally-connected drive.  That would require that your Mac be on whenever any other network client needed to access the drive.

  • Best way to set up a new system with RAID?

    I'll be buying a new Intel Mac Pro when Leopard comes out (for my office). I can get it with as many drives as fits into the bays (4?). My question is, what's the best way to set up a disk redundancy? I'm assuming I want one of the drives for Time Machine. That leaves 3; what kind of RAID do I want to maximize safety if and when one of the drives dies? I'd also like to optimize disk access time, as a secondary consideration. So, 1) what RAID do I want and how many drives will that take, and 2) how do I set it up? Presumably the thing will arrive all set up with Leopard installed. So, will I have to hose that installation to change the file system to RAID? Any problem with that (is it worth it)? If so, what disk do I boot from to set that up, and what's the right way to do this and get a working system back?
    Mike

  • HT3819 what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    what is the best way to set up my childs iphone with apple id and as part of home sharing?

    So do I have to hook up an Ethernet cable to both the Uverse AND my computer from the Time Capsule?
    I'm not sure that I understand everything that you want to do and where devices will be located.
    The Time Capsule must connect to the "main" Uverse router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection. An Ethernet cable can be run up to 300+ feet with virtually no loss, so you should be able to locate the Time Capsule wherever you want.....unless you have a very large estate.
    If you want the Time Capsule to strengthen the wireless signal provided by the Uverse router, then the Time Capsule must be located in the area where you need that additional signal strength.
    If I understand your post correctly, you plan to install the Time Capsule in the office? When you do this, you can configure the Time Capsule to create a wireless signal that uses the exact same wireless network name and password as the Uverse wireless network.
    That will provide a much stronger signal for your Uverse wireless network in the office area. Hopefully, the bedroom that you mention is close to the office, so it will pick up the stronger wireless signal from the Time Capsule.
    The iMac in the office can connect to the Time Capsule using another short Ethernet cable connection, or the iMac can connect using wireless.  A wired connection is always preferred, if possible.
    At this point, I guess the first question would be.......
    Do you have a location for the Time Capsule that will be close to the office....and...the bedroom where you want a stronger wireless signal?

  • What is the best way to set up iTunes on our home network so all family members have access to all of our itunes library, even music we don't have on the cloud?

    I have five different people using 10 different apple devices on one itunes account in our family.  We have had trouble sharing.  What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network?  We have purchased music that sits on icloud, but we also have music we have imported from our previous cd library.  Our itunes program keeps crashing and dumping everyone's playlists.  So far we have all been using just the one desktop computer to sync to because we can't figure out how to share the same librarly and playlists on multiple computers in our home so devices can be synced at any location as well as playlists and purchases be made. 

    What is the best way to set up itunes on our home network? 
    One iTunes library per person.  One iTunes account per person.
    If people wish to share songs, they can make copies.
    When the inevitable day comes when the kids get older, you will not have to come back here and post asking how all that stuff can get separated!

  • What Is The Best Way To Set Up Kids iTouch To My iTunes?

    I have an iTouch set up with my iTunes music, movies and apps, but now I gave my kids each an iTouch.
    What is the best way to set up there account, should it be a unique account for each of them or should I put them under my account?
    They will be using my same iMac when they sync or update there iTouch, so will they need to log in under their name every time?
    Not sure what is the best way to set this up, they are both minors, i.e. no credit card.
    Thanks

    Better just your account for multiple devices. The only drawback is that the music will have to managed manually.
    Connect one of the iPods to your computer then launch iTunes. You should see the iPod under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Double click then you can name each iPod to keep them separate but only syncs to your iTunes account.
    Without knowing your Apple ID user name and password they would not be able to make purchases ergo no downloads you aren't aware of.
    How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
    The kids are minors.. if they are under 13 years of age, according to Apple, they can't have their own accounts regardless.

  • What is the best way of setting up Family Sharing?

    I just bought my son an iPad Mini and I am trying to decide on what is the best way of setting it up for him. The one thing I do know is that I do NOT want all the content that is my iPhone 6 to pop up on his iPad Mini. I want his iPad to be used for his games and educational stuff and his own music. I don't mind setting up a family photo album and share photos with the family. So is the Family Sharing option the best way of doing this based on what I just mentioned? Do I set him up with his own Apple ID? If so will everything still be based off my account so he won't have to create his own iTunes Library?
    I always use iTunes gift cards to purchase music and content. Will I be able to continue to use them even if I want to put some new content on his iPad and not my iPhone? Do I enter in his Apple ID info. Can you restrict certain family members to just certain things for example you only want to share photos with one person whereas you might want to share your music with another family member?
    Any suggestions on the best way of setting this up would great!
    Thanks!

    Hi DVX100Shooter,
    Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it. 
    Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
    OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
    In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
    The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
    Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
    Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
    Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
    The shared family photo album is available to all family members.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
